EXCELLENCE IS REAL.

EXCELLENCE is also the title of Skybound’s newest comic, created by Khary Randolph and Brandon Thomas. Brandon and Khary are longtime Skybound family, joined here by colorist Emilio Lopez and letterer Deron Bennett. To work with them again was a given; to do it all together on an action-packed comic about a secret society of magicians that channels Kendrick Lamar and Street Fighter and Black Panther (Priest AND Coogler)? Shut up and take my money.

At the center of this series is Spencer Dales, a young man about the join the Aegis—the magical Illuminati that guides the world with unseen hands. Cause you know real bad boys move in silence. Spencer’s bloodline is blessed with unimaginable power, a responsibility that his father reminds him of every day. It’s a legacy that’s hard to live up to, even more so when Spencer discovers the flaws in the Aegis’s design.

Because with enough power to change the world, who decides what’s right? And who is deserving? How would YOU use it?

Maybe power is just an illusion. But excellence? It’s very, very real.

Spencer Dales was born into a world of magic. His father belongs to the Aegis, a secret society of black magicians ordered by their unseen masters to better the lives of others—of higher potential—but never themselves.

Now it’s time for Spencer to follow in his father’s footsteps, but all he sees is a broken system in need of someone with the wand and the will to change it. But in this fight for a better future…who will stand beside him?

Khary Randolph and Brandon Thomas ignite a generational war in this action- fantasy series, made entirely by creators of color, and committed to one truth above all others—Excellence is Real.
